hello guys, im a complete noob in arduino, but i do have general knoledge about electronics.
so i need a motor controller system, or board. i want to send signals from arduino to controll 2-4 ( not sure yet) DC Motors, 1-2(again not sure yet) steping motors. i would like to draw external power.
im going to use this type of motor with similar specifications Toy DC Motor with Leads - ROB-09608 - SparkFun Electronics
and this type of steping motor: Small Stepper Motor - ROB-10551 - SparkFun Electronics
i will most likely use a arduino mega. power is not going to be a problem.
so tell me how should i go about this? is there a shield out there that can help me out? is there a kit or schematics that work?
sorry if i posted at the wrong place 
For the DC motors, see Pololu - TB6612FNG Dual Motor Driver Carrier
For the steppers, see Pololu - A4988 Stepper Motor Driver Carrier
The first, DC motor controller needs two digital lines for direction and a third PWM line for speed. Read the TB6612FNG datasheet for an explanation. The stepper motor controller uses basic step/direction control.
